Reckless

Liam took off his necklace and put it around my neck.

"But Liam, this mean so much to you," I started.

"Something to remember me by," He smiled. I was really going to miss his smile. And his pancakes, and his kisses and the feeling i get when im around him. The way he wakes me up with kisses across my cheek. Who am I kidding? I will miss everything about him.

"I'll wait for you," I whispered in his ear.

"Just promise me something," He said as he pulled me closer to his chest.

"Yes?"

"Promise me that no matter what happens, you will never lose that beauitiful smile, that twinkle in your eye." He said as a tear rolled down his cheek.

I put my hand on his cheek,"Liam your not going to die," I said. He was silent.

"Liam im not losing you!" I panicked.

"I cant promise you anything. But i will assure you that everyday im out there, i will fight for you. Every day, every moment of the day will be for you. And when i come home, we can continue with our life the way it should be, start a family," He smiled and brought my hand to his lips,"You feel my heart?" He placed my hand over his chest. His heart was beating wildly,"You feel that? Everytime im around you it beats like that. And that best part, it only beats for you."

I was silent.

"Ava?"

"Yes Liam?" I said.

"I love you," He looked at me with soft chocolate brown eyes. It made my heart melt.

I collapsed into tears on his chest,"I love you too Liam."

"Dont cry now love,"

"Liam," I looked at him with a serious expression,"If you die, i dont know how i will be able to contiue life without you.. and i wont."

I could see the shock in Liam's eyes as he started to say something, but i cut him off,"It only beats for you."

He pulled me under the crook of his arm and muttered something into my ear.
"I just wish i could keep you safe."
